What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered healthcare role where I can grow clinically, use my ophthalmic and medication administration skills, work in a collaborative team, and advance through training and meaningful patient care.

I have more than eleven years in the healthcare field, working as an ophthalmic assistant, caregiver and medication administrator. I bring organized, collaborative teamwork and strong clinical and intrapersonal skills to improve patient health, vision and wellbeing.

In ophthalmology roles I have dispensed eye drops, refracted for glasses prescriptions, performed pressure testing, optical coherence tomography (OCT), brightness acuity, pachymetry and other vision tests while supporting efficient clinic workflows.

My background also includes home healthcare, pharmacy technician duties and medication administration; I am proficient with Microsoft Office and familiar with health systems and medical terminology, and I pursue opportunities that let me grow clinically and support patients directly.
